Saffron Roots - جذور الزعفران

“Must visit place for all but specially if you are a kashmiri missing wazwan away from home. Not exactly like the wooden cooked fresh wazwan in your home but very close. You definitely can't find this experience in Pakistan”

“Ambiance & Cleanliness 10/10 A place to have calm and tasty food with amazing Ambiance. Hareesa 10/10 Goushtaba 9/10 (it's like kofta with gravy) Biryani 8/10 Karak ginger tea 10/10 Overall an excellent experience 👌”

“Loved having our lunch here. Food was nice and fresh and not extremely spicy so loved having the food here. We ordered honey chili potatoes and chicken manchurian and veg fried rice. Will come back for sure!”

We recently dined at Saffron Roots and had a truly wonderful experience. The Kashmiri Wazwan was authentic and full of rich, traditional flavors that really stood out. Both the food quality and quantity were excellent everything was fresh, well-prepared, and generously served. A special thanks to Mr. Shaqib for his warm and attentive service, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone in Riyadh looking to experience authentic Kashmiri cuisine!

Discovered this gem of a restaurant by chance and it was totally worth a visit. The food was great and the hospitality of the owners Mr Sarfaraz and Mr Mustafa, was very impressive. I must mention Waheed and Hasan for their excellent customer service It felt like we were invited to a real Kashmiri home for dinner. The Wazwan was perfect, afghani chicken tikka soft and juicy, freshly served laccha parathas a lovely surprise being made with whole wheat flour. The tender coconut ice cream suggested by Mr Mustafa was also really tasty. Will definitely return InshaAllah and try more dishes.

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Saffron Roots in Al Olaya, Riyadh. From the moment we arrived the ambiance struck a perfect blend of modern elegance with traditional Indian warmth. The staff were attentive and welcoming, explaining the signature Kashmiri-inspired dishes with enthusiasm. The food was fragrant and robust, the kebabs were tender and smoky, and the vegetarian options held their own. The menu description that this is “Authenticity meets innovation” truly holds.  The price point is also reasonable for the quality and location — perfect for a special lunch or dinner. If you’re looking for a memorable Indian dining experience in Riyadh, Saffron Roots is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Saffron Roots truly captures the soul of Kashmiri Wazwan. The taste was authentic, rich, and deeply satisfying-each dish reminded me of the traditional flavors of Kashmir. From the aroma of saffron to the perfectly balanced spices, everything felt genuine and well-prepared. The ambiance added to the experience; it honestly felt like eating back in Kashmir, bringing nostalgia with every bite. A must-visit for anyone who wants to experience real Kashmiri cuisine and culture. Highly recommended.
